There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth.It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors.Just
this side of the Rainbow Bridge,there is a meadow, hills, and valleys with lush green grass.When a beloved pet dies,
the pet goes to this place.There is always food and water and warm spring weather.The old and frail animals are young
again.Those who are maimed are made whole again.They play all day with each other.There is only one thing missing:They
are not with their special personwho loved them on Earth.So, each day they run and play until the day comeswhen
one suddenly looks up!The nose twitches.The ears are up.The eyes are staring.And this one suddenly runs from
the group.You have been seen,and when you and your special friend meet,you take him or her in your arms and embrace.Your
face is kissed again and again and again,and you look once more into the eyes of your trusted pet.Then you cross the
Rainbow Bridge together,never again to be separated.

God looked around his gardenand found an empty place.He then looked upon the earthand saw your tired
face.He put his arm around youand lifted you to rest.God's garden must be beautifulhe always takes the best.He
knew that you were suffering,He knew you were in pain,He knew that you would never,get well on earth againHe
saw the road was getting rough,and the hills were hard to climb.And so he closed your eyelids,and whispered "peace
be thine."It broke our hearts to lose you,but you didn't go alonefor part of us went with youthe day God called
you home.

On our last day, I prayed
for you.I sent a prayer to those guardian angelsof all the lost, sick and homelessto guide youon your way
across the Bridge.I cried for you, and cry for you still.I never held you in my arms, felt the beat of your heartor
the purr of your contentment.On your last day on this cold Earth,I called to my friends who havecrossed the Rainbow
Bridge before youto watch for you.To take you in their welcoming embraceand keep you in their careuntil again
we meet again

If tears could build a stairwayand memories a lane,I'd walk right up to Heaven,and bring you home
again
